Interests
What I Am Involved In
Robotics
I coordinated with team members and mentors to design and fabricate a “Battlebots” style robot for competition, placing first at the Xtreme Xbots Competition in 2019. I managed cost and time use during the build and analyzed robot design and competition strategies for further improvement post-competition.
Being new to robotics and CAD design, I used my experience on this team to develop these skills, plus add skills such as operating CNC milling machines and designing the electronics.

University oF Cincinnati marching band
As a member of the marching band, I joined during an interesting point in time. With Covid-19, we have to continue to practice safe practices to allow us to continue to perform.
As a member of the band, I work on multiple pieces, especially on recording pieces to put out online due to the audience restrictions.
Bearcat Solar Car
The solar car club is a new club on campus, so we are working hard to fundraise and earn the necessary money to obtain the parts we need. I am a member of the passionate team, with the specific roles of coordinating our media presence for potential sponsors and followers. We are in the design phase of the solar car, where I am developing the user interface, which interfaces with all of the car's systems.
Institute of Electrical and Electronics engineers
As a member of IEEE, I connect with engineers in their fields and attend professional and skill development seminars. I am able to connect with upperclassman and others in similar majors to mine and network.
Engineers without Borders
I work with the UC chapter of Engineers Without Borders to work with the rural communities of Nyambogo, Roche, and Burere in Tanzania to build and maintain water infrastructure.
Currently, I've been working in the Roche sector to develop plans surrounding the repair or rebuilding of the existing water tower in the community that supplies the local health center and the surrounding community.
Photography
Outside of my school-related clubs, I have developed a passion of photography, specifically documenting the beauty of the nature in the everyday world. My skills are self-taught alongside my brother. Photography allows me to connect myself to my community and take time to appreciate the world I have around me.
